A 911 experience

[Guest guest]

this post just came across one of my lists, and I thought that her

scenario might be one that others should be aware of before calling 911

for anything short of imminent death!

I recall a case where my young children ( 8 and 10) called 911

against my

wishes, when I was injured and bleeding profusely. Although I called

immediately back and told them not to come, the nightmare was set in

motion

and there was no stopping it.

When I refused treatment, I was threatened with arrest for refusing.

I tried

to give them a written, signed note that I refused, it was not

sufficient.

After much back and forth, when they were becoming more and more

threatening

I finally locked myself into a bathroom as I felt getting weaker

since I

really did lose a lot of blood. If they had not come I would have

laid down,

applied pressure and be fine. (did that after they left). Of course

my

children were frantic as they saw all that blood and all that

threatening

going on and their mother in anger and tears and the 911 folks on a

power

trip (well, so was I, I guess). Just when the sheriff was about to

break down

the bathroom door, my husband came home and after I told him that I

did not

want their services, could he have them leave.

After that nightmare, I made it very clear to my children and all

others,

that for me there will NEVER again a 911 call made. It is my choice.

I have

signed notes to that effect in my purse, my car and a few other

places.

and Yes, I will call 911 for my children or anyone else but I will

also use

the oils and cayenne pepper (I learned since, it stops bleeding

wounds fast.)

etc. on family members no matter what the emergency personnel says

and am

prepared to sue if they keep me from it.

I fully realize that doctors and other medical and emergency

personnel are a

true blessing and I have nothing against them, nor do I encourage

others to

follow my lead. At the same time, people have the right to their

idiosyncrasies.

However, be aware that ones 911 has been activated, you become a

number and

only by a very strong will, can you direct your treatment.

Preparation, knowing ones rights and what to do in an emergency are

the key

to success.

For anyone with a doctor phobia like I have, the oils are a true

blessing.
